Someone please tell me I am not nuts. Yahoo is really frustrating me, and I hope it is not just me. They have dropped me off the rankings (again - happened one time before for a day or three). Also they sure have changed their ranking formula or something. Many of the people who were highly r...

I have another great report for Activerain -- Out of state referrals work really well too. I posted one just yesterday and have 8 responses in less that 24 hours. Nice to have a network that really pays attention when we post a referral - I used to do this through my office - but not anymore. ...

I am truly impressed. Activerainworks like a champ when you post a referral out of your area. Yesterday I posted a referral and the the response has been way above expectations. I posted the referral yesterday in the mid afternoon, and since then I have received over 40 responses. Truly amazi...

Landlords come in all sizes, shapes, and mind sets. Last week we met one who is very unique. At the end of the day he decided that the rent he needed for his house was $2200 per month. This might be all well and good but we have a big problem. A renter can "buy", yes I said "buy" the same typ...

Credit scores are not just for buyers when they get a loan, they are actively being used to disqualify tenants by the landlords. It seems like every day now we are running credit reports for landlord to help them screen through the applicants to rent their homes/condos. Many of the candidates "...

Here is the picture that I had lots of trouble loading. It seems I have much to learn, but I have to start somewhere. This is my "baby" - 1967 Pontiac "GTO" -- Convertible - totally restored, 4 speed, positraction, hot engine, as many new parts as I could buy. My goal was to have a new car tha...

Do we have any car buffs out there? Well here is a picture of my company car -- not really -- it is garaged most of the time. But seven years of work has got me very protective about my "baby". It is a GTO - 1967 convertible, 4 speed, positraction, 428 cu in 4 barrel state of the art ...

I am hoping that someone out there has some insight on what is going on with Yahoo. I suspect that they have had a change in their search formula in the last 45 days or so. Many agents that were first page ranked (with me) have now dropped to page 5-6-or 7. If it was just me I would suspect a ...

I have just got to let everyone know that we have really had good luck lately on purchases of REO (bank owned) properties. Of course we were rejected on several of them, but we stayed in the game. Ultimately we got a second chance to buy the home and actually closed the deal. The key has to be...
